Abstract: Abstract As India celebrates 60 years of its independence, it is appropriate to recall that the press in India was among the key role players in India’s successful struggle for independence. Since independence, the press has been helping to advance several objectives, including nationwide democracy and good governance. In turn, aspiration of the people of India for socio-economic development, a stronger democracy and better governance has ensured continued freedom of the press itself. Over the years, the press has grown enormously in both depth and spread. Although the story of the growth of the press in India is fascinating we are interested here in the core raw material used by the press — newsprint — a category of paper used for printing newspapers.
